Lol at 99 and Dexter is on the edge of SLU and heading into downtown for a lotta commuters. I’ve lived a few places and Seattle is my favorite because it made me uncomfortable enough to ask myself questions I wasn’t sure I’d like the answers to. It’s made me a better person. Love this city.

    Depose =/= Kill

    It does when it references the words a killer specifically used very recently on bullet casings in a very public killing.

    Just like you can’t say “I’m going to 9/11 the Whitehouse” because that’s a specific reference that has a clear inference.

      They obviously know the reference, but are simply making a point that the broad sentiment toward CEOs would largely be appeased by other, less dramatic means.

      If people have their legitimate claims paid in a reasonable time, and weren’t bombarded by gofundmes for people on their own for medical care, then they might be more empathetic toward health industry executives.
